Looking pretty good. But you've put the main wheels on wrong way around. They should be on the outboard side of the legs.

...Curtiss P-36 & P-40 had same landing gear folding arrangement, P-36 first flying 4 years before the Reggiane 2000, Roberto Longhi no doubt influenced by the retraction design. FIAT G.50 & Macchi C.202 inwards-down gear action seemingly better suited for rough field operations, Fw 190 & Hawker Hurricane well as Soviet fighters included, Bf 109s & Spits narrow outwards-down suffering from undercarrage failures 109's especially as landing weight increased with heavier engines & equipment.

Thanks for the catch! Not sure how I messed that up. Now the challenge: Can I go back and fix it?
And thanks for the link; I wasn't familiar with this.

Thanks, Chris;
I figured out the mistake I made in uploading my pictures, so next time I'll do better. I've started painting a Fiat CR.42.

Great job !
You would have thought Italeri would have done a better job on an Italian aircraft
From National Pride ? Let alone future sales "...
